Comprehensive List of Ryden Songs

For anon! Marking the songs written by Ryan as R and Brendon as B 

Northern Downpour: R The Ryden Song. 

  • Ryan told Brendon to pay special attention to the line ‘I know the world’s a broken bone, but melt your headaches, call it home’
  • Brendon has broken down many times while performing it post split and doesn’t sing it anymore
  • ‘I missed your skin when you were east’ is believed to be a reference to the Seattle lore. 
  • ‘Hey moon, please forget to fall down’ - Sun & Moon theory  

When The Day Met The Night: R obvious Sun & Moon theory also here Brendon uses male pronouns in the second verse!

Cape Town: R by The Young Veins, Ryan and Jon’s band, post split

  • Cape Town was the last show Panic played before they split
  • Includes the line ‘I loved you, I left you in Cape Town’
  • Ryan has also said the split was like breaking up with a girlfriend

The Other Girl: R 

  • ‘Don’t have much to say right now, Cause I’m trying to figure out, Why he’s with the other girl’ wow need I say more?

Bittersweet: B 

  • ‘I’ve been to Tokyo and to South Africa’ Cape Town is in South Africa and it’s like a response to Cape Town
  • ‘You could tell me secrets that I’ll probably repeat I’m not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak’  we know Ry is a secretive person and Brendon has a big mouth so yeah 

Nearly Witches: R+B ahhh The Song Of Salt and pain

  • Ryan wrote the song during the cabin days, but later Brendon used it on V&V with some modifications
  • basically he changed it from a creepy, spooky song to a romantic thing
  • also he changed Ryan’s ‘as a boy’ to ‘as a girl’
  • AND THE Main Thing: Brendon mocked Ryan’s original lyrics ‘here I am composing a burlesque’ Very Frequently by singing it in a.. camp way.. and thrusting his hips etc

Memories: B check this out

The Calendar: B subtlety has never been B’s best suite 

  • This is officially about the split and Ryan and Jon. Like confirmed.
  • but  ‘And I meant everything I said that night I will come back to life, But only for you’ 
  • ‘Put another ex on the calendar, Summer’s on its deathbed’ -Sun & Moon theory  
  • ‘at night your body’s a symphony, and I’m conducting’…!!

Hurricane: B 

  • Cause they know, I know that they don’t look like me. Oh, they know, I know that they don’t sound like me.  -referring to the young veins changing their style 
  • But he didn’t come and speak to me, Or put my heart at ease.

Casual Affair: B

  • preceded by an anti gay message from an old film during live shows
  • which possibly implies it’s about a gay affair? I think brendon said it was about fantasizing etc so yeah

Nicotine: B brendon’s denied it, but a lot of people think the muffled intro sounds like I love you Ryan Ross, but not right now…

Lonely Moonlight: R  Ryan’s solo work

  • ‘When I had a younger heart, You told me not to fear the dark’
  • ‘Someone I love loves someone else’  awww poor bb
  • also even the title is Sun & Moon theory

Where I Belong: R again one of Ry’s 2014 demos

  • If you wanna see the sun, You’re gonna have to dig your way out - Sun & Moon theory 
  • I know I should’ve never left, I’d gotten tired being buried -possibly he was tired of hiding behind Brendon’s voice for his words, but he regrets leaving
  • I hope that I’ve still got your help - Ryan’s actually said he’s not against working with panic again

Impossible Year: B

  • There’s no sunshine, This impossible year - Sun & Moon theory  
  • bitter pills, tattoos, last bruises, no you and me

House of Memories: B he’s not subtle lmao

  • Memories turn into daydreams, Become a taboo 
  • I think of you from time to time, More than I thought I would….You were just too kind And I was too young to know 
  • Those thoughts of past lovers, They’ll always haunt me.. I wish I could believe, You’d never wronged me 
  • honestly, brendon didn’t really have very serious relationships before Sarah so who is he talking about?? (ryanryanryan)

Golden Days: B the throam song (I’m looking @ u anna green)

  • I found a pile of Polaroids, In the crates of a record shop 
  • Boy he was something debonair in 1979
  • Time can never break your heart but it’ll take the pain away

I’ve come to think of this piece as “The Sorrow of Loki” because it is a pretty heart-wrenching compilation. One evening recently, I got into a passionate discussion with a friend about why I felt that Odin should really take most of the blame for what happened not only in the Avengers, but in Thor, as well as TTDW. I attempted to explain the perfectly valid reasons for Loki’s rage and pain to my friend who just does NOT see past the, “He’s just an ungrateful emo brat,” thing. It might seem that way to someone who only sees the situation from one perspective and looks no deeper. I told my friend that, while I never said that Loki’s actions were justified, his rage and pain are. Loki is at his best when he is misdirecting people’s attentions. More often than not, anyone who runs into him takes him at face value, with the exception of Frigga. Loki’s mind is not like a bagful of cats so much as it’s a shark camouflaged by a bagful of cats. *edit: (that is to say that it never stops moving, because sharks can’t or they die, etc…anyway..)

My friend never even let me explain that all of Loki’s actions would inevitably lead him back to the path he took by the end of TTDW because Loki is always thinking ten steps ahead. Always. Even through torture and imprisonment a la Thanos, he planned and plotted. He seethes with rage. And that rage is justified. Only now he uses that pain and rage to fuel his ambitions and fill the gaping hole that Odin left by one minute telling him that he’s his son and the next reinforcing the idea that he’s a monster and he will never belong on Asgard. That he’ll never be one of them, and on that note, I have to pose a question:

Was Odin’s stealing the abandoned baby Loki an act of mercy, or cruelty? Odin must have known that it would be like spitting in Laufey’s face to steal his son, regardless of the fact that Loki had been left to die. While it may have on one hand seemed merciful to raise that child as an Asgardian without knowing his true heritage, it is made well known from the beginning of the first film that the Asgardian attitude toward just about anyone who wasn’t Asgardian is not a very healthy one. Thor and Loki were both raised viewing Jotuns as monsters, and indeed saw Jotuns as such. When Loki discovered that he was one of those monsters himself, it must have felt like the nine realms were collapsing under his feet. A man that he had loved, trusted, and revered as his father and had always tried to please, but had never been quite good enough tells him that he is only alive because he found him and stole him. Then Odin tells him that he was protecting him from the truth.

What truth? The truth that Odin hated what Loki was? The truth that regardless of Odin’s hatred of frost giants, he would use Loki as a chance to unite Jotunheim and Asgard, raise Loki with Asgardian beliefs, principles, and ideals so that child would become and Asgardian puppet in Jotunheim someday? The truth that Odin is not perfect and that he screwed up and did something he shouldn’t have? The truth that the All-Father is fallible? We know that Frigga loved Loki unconditionally, as if he was her own child, and she alone treated him that way, and Thor, while he loved his brother, still allowed his friends to tease Loki, and never really attempted to defend him either I imagine. Young Thor was too busy being impressed with himself to see that his little brother just wanted to be his equal. While Frigga may have treated both Thor and Loki equally, Odin certainly did not. However, all my friend can see is that Loki is just spoiled brat. Never mind the betrayal by his father and his mother (though in Frigga’s case, she genuinely did not want to hurt Loki and wanted to protect him from the truth that Odin was basically just keeping Loki around as a pawn.) I can see why Loki did what he did, i.e., killing Laufey, etc. He wanted acceptance. He wanted to have a little of the love that Thor got from Odin, but he was never going to get that, and you see that with two words from Odin at the end of the first film, “No, Loki.” Loki is a very lonely who belongs nowhere. I might say that in the end he just wants to belong somewhere, but he will always be an outsider looking in. My empathy for the character’s motivations, however, apparently made me “just a Loki fangirl” though, so what do I know?

Loki: “Am I cursed? What am I?”

Odin: “You’re my son.”

Loki: “You took me for a purpose. What was it? TELL ME!”

Odin: “I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day–through you. Those plans no longer matter.

Loki: “So I am no more than another stolen relic– locked up here until you might have use of me…”

Odin: “Why do you twist my words?”

Loki: “You could have told me what I was from the beginning. Why didn’t you?”

Odin: “I wanted to protect you from the truth.

Loki: “What? Because I-I-I’m the monster who parents tell their children about at night?! You know it all makes sense now…Why you favored Thor all these years. Because no matter how much you claimto love me, you could never have a frost giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!”

___________

Frigga: “Loki, don’t make it worse.”

Loki: “Define worse.”

____

Odin: “All this because Loki desires a throne.”

Loki: “It is my birthright.”

Odin: “You’re birthright was to die as a child cast out onto a frozen rock!”

___________

Frigga: “Your father–”

Loki: “He is NOT my father!”

Frigga: “Then am I not your mother?”

Loki: “You’re not…”

Frigga: “Always so perceptive about everyone but yourself…”

____________

Thor: “I will tell father what you’ve done here today.”

Loki: “I didn’t do it for him.

If the article’s reliable (and somehow it seems more reliable than this one I posted yesterday, though it also forgets Rob starred in The Level and quotes what Rob said one year ago - see the last 3 paragraphs, that is a quote from an interview he gave before The Level aired), Rob turned down theatre roles and isn’t offered the roles he’d like to play, that is to say a different character than Thomas. 

I want to stay positive and be glad another newspaper speaks about his part in The Ritual, although I’d rather read about Rob talking about the movie than focus on a line without context, surrounded by copy/paste of older interviews without chronology, and with the most important news lost somewhere in the middle…

Because actually the only piece of fresh news are these lines : 

Rob is now set to appear in horror film The Ritual alongside Rafe Spall, one of his first acting jobs since Downton Abbey ended in 2015. The film sees a group of college friends reunite for a trip in the forest, but they end up being stalked by a menacing presence.

He said: “It’s a genre I have never done because there’s sometimes a stigma around these films. There can be too much hack-slashing gore and nudity. This is different.”

Again, at least a paper talks about it so FUCK YEAH ! But I’m afraid readers could focus more on the typecasting business than the actual news. 

Re-reading this article again… I now wonder if Rob’s words about “being typecast and not enjoying Hollywood success” weren’t taken from an even older interview, as the article says Rob’s played Thomas for 4 series. 

You’ll also notice that the pictures included are a S4 BTS, a S1 BTS, and a picture of Rob taken during a charity in 2015 (that is to say AFTER S4 had aired both in UK and the US).

 Just my 2 cents. Whole article below. What do you think of it ? 

Downton star reveals playing a gay man in hit show has ruined his dream Hollywood career

Rob, 41, starred as Thomas Barrow, a footman who became under-butler, in the ITV show for four series. He believes the role may have led him to be typecast, impacting on his career opportunities in America

BY MARK JEFFERIES  00:00, 3 OCT 2017

Rob James-Collier thinks he hasn’t enjoyed the same Hollywood success as his Downton Abbey co-stars because he played a gay character.

Rob, 41, starred as Thomas Barrow, a footman who became under-butler, in the ITV show for four series. He believes the role may have led him to be typecast, impacting on his career opportunities in America.

The actor told the Radio Times that he thinks the characters played by his co-stars, such as Michelle Dockery, Dan Stevens and Lily James, are “more easily transferable” in Hollywood.

He said: “I think audiences in the US can identify quite easily with the quintessential English gent and English lady, whereas a neurotic, dark, gay character like Thomas is a hard thing to put into the American market. It can lead to typecasting,” he added.

Rob appeared as Liam Connor in ITV’s Coronation Street before landing a starring role in Downton Abbey. He believes Thomas’s evil streak, along with his sexuality, have hindered his prospects.

He said: “Because Thomas Barrow is gay and is, essentially, the bad guy for much of the show, a lot of people within the industry can only see you as that. They might not be in a rush to see you as a heterosexual love interest. That takes time.”

Rob said he has been offered some theatre roles “which happened to be gay characters”, but he turned them down because he “really wanted to show something different”.

The star explained: “After I left Corrie, I didn’t work for 15 months. I turned a lot of stuff down because they weren’t the right roles to take me away from what I’d done before.

“That’s why, after Coronation Street, I waited for Thomas Barrow. And thank God he came along, because the wolves were at the door.”

Rob is now set to appear in horror film The Ritual alongside Rafe Spall, one of his first acting jobs since Downton Abbey ended in 2015. The film sees a group of college friends reunite for a trip in the forest, but they end up being stalked by a menacing presence.

He said: “It’s a genre I have never done because there’s sometimes a stigma around these films. There can be too much hack-slashing gore and nudity. This is different.”

After starring in ITV’s hit period drama, Rob’s Downton co-stars Michelle, Dan and Lily all saw their careers thrive across the pond.

Another Downton actor, Joanne Froggatt is currently winning rave reviews in ITV drama Liar, which is also being screened Stateside.

He said: “I spend more time out of work than in work. I was waiting for the right thing and I could’ve been waiting for years.”

The TV star explained that it was “important” to “put distance” between himself and his Downton character.

He said: “I always try and do something new and different. Unfortunately, it’s not always the way it turns out because it’s hard. It’s a tough game to be in. And I always say it, but there’s better actors than me out of work all the time.”

Honestly, I felt the spun his words to make it sound worse than it is – I mean I do think he isl probably is dealing with a bit of typecasting, though I think it has more to do with the villain thing than the gay thing.  But putting them together it could make it a bit worse.  Also, he was Thomas so seamlessly I feel like his acting is underappreciated.   He’s always embraced all of what made Thomas Thomas openly.  I really don’t think he was saying at all that it hurt his career – that’s websites taking what he said and click-baiting them.  He was just saying that his role was more niche than the others and it takes time for people to separate it from him as an actor.   In the same/or another interview he mentions how when they asked him to stay on the show in season one he said Fuck, yeah…  He doesn’t regret Thomas at all.  He said he was thankful he got the role finally after leaving Corrie and not working for a while.  He waits for roles because he wants to stretch his wings.  He got offered a lot f gay roles after and it wasn’t because he wouldn’t want to play gay again.  It was that he just wants to do something different.  Totally understandable.
